A fight to put artisanal fishers on the map
Speed read
- FAO guidelines the first international tool to focus on artisanal fishers
- Rights-based approach clashes with conservation push in Costa Rica
- Communities get help to claim livelihood, have a voice in policy
This article was supported by The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center.
FAO's move to shore up the rights of small-scale fishers is making waves in Costa Rica.
FAO's move to shore up the rights of small-scale fishers is making waves in Costa Rica.
In August 2015, the government of Costa Rica received a letter from a tiny fishing community on the northern Caribbean coast.
Nestled between Tortuguero National Park and the Nicaragua border, the community of Barra del Colorado — some 2,000 people — have been quietly making a living out of shrimp fishing for generations.
The letter took issue with a 2013 constitutional vote to a ban trawling — a fishing method that can damage marine environments by pulling along undesired fish species and destroying habitats at the ocean bottom.
The vote targeted industrial and semi-industrial trawling operations. But it made no exception for fishers operating at a smaller scale, to catch fish for food or to sell locally for a basic income. For Barra del Colorado and similar communities, it meant losing the legal right to their only livelihood, and a way of life.
"In this place this is the only work we can do," says Ligia Mejia Guzman as she deftly cleans the day's catch, shrimp by shrimp. The work, which occupies most women in the community, is without social security, leaves fingers bleeding as acid wears off the skin, and earns her about 20,000 colones (US$35) each day — on a good day — for two short fishing seasons a year. She learned it as a child and, like the rest, she is thankful for it.
The letter marked the beginning of a fight for the licence to fish, which continues today. One of the community's allies is CoopeSoliDar R.L, a local development NGO that facilitated a consensus-building policy process — the National Dialogue for the sustainable use of shrimp — involving government institutions, NGOs, and all productive fishing sectors.
"We have been dealing with conflicts at the grassroots level, very serious conflicts, trying to get an equilibrium between marine conservation and the sustainable use of these resources that bring development to a lot of people," says Vivienne Solis Rivera, a biologist with CoopeSoliDar.
The NGO is working in Barra del Colorado to build the community's capacity to reclaim their licence. That means research, workshops, getting organised to have a voice in policy discussions — work that Solis Rivera says in recent years has had a boost from a new addition to the toolbox: a set of International Guidelines on Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries adopted by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in June 2014.
The product of a long consultation with over 4,000 stakeholders from over 120 countries, the guidelines are "the first international instrument dedicated entirely to the immensely important — but until now often neglected — small-scale fisheries sector", according to FAO. They emphasise the rights of artisanal fishers and offer guiding principles for governance and development of the sector.
Costa Rica is by no means unique in overlooking small-scale fisheries. But FAO believes it is the only country to make the guidelines, which are voluntary, a part of its national development plan. This makes it a case the UN agency is keen to watch.
Troubled waters
The effort has been controversial, going head-to-head with the country's strong drive for conservation that has seen over a quarter of its territory designated as protected land.
"There is a real conflict with the environmental agenda," Solis Rivera says, pointing out that high-profile campaigns have tipped the scales considerably. She believes the guidelines have added a crucial counterweight to that: for CoopeSoliDar and the national fisheries management body, INCOPESCA, having them in hand has meant the community's concerns get more weight in policy. They give small fishers a presence; and this, she says, makes them disruptive.
According to Nicole Franz, a fishery planning analyst who leads FAO's work on the guidelines, such conflicts aren't unusual. "We do see that at times there are tensions", she says, citing a lack of dialogue between the agencies and NGOs leading the different agendas. Her hope is that the guidelines offer a "basis for constructive collaboration".
At a meeting convened by FAO last year at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in Italy, delegates from around the world agreed to work towards indicators to monitor implementation of the guidelines through pilot projects.
Solis Rivera, who took part in the meeting, believes the guidelines can make a difference by "concretizing" a range of issues relevant to policy that affects small fishers. "When the guidelines were approved [in Costa Rica], we were able to really get a tool that could be used to provide more inputs of the need of this approach that considers human rights as the main backbone of conservation," she says.
The fishermen who take their boats out a few kilometres away from Barra del Colorado, just where the mouth of Rio Colorado meets the Caribbean sea, catch only the amount of shrimp they can sell to middlemen in the area, plus a small percentage each for their families.
They 'know' that their nets don't drag along as much fauna as other trawlers. Yet it takes studies to persuade Costa Rica's government — and that's what the community has set out to do, with help from CoopeSoliDar.
Solis Rivera says the guidelines have helped secure the time and money needed to do the research. Since February, through a temporary 'research licence', the men have continued to fish legally while gathering information about the sustainability of their practices.
That licence is due to expire soon. At a meeting last week, the community heard that early results of a study commissioned by CoopeSoliDar are promising.
Hanging in the balance
When it comes to the evidence on trawling, Solis Rivera says the devil is in the detail: in some cases semi-industrial fishing is less damaging than a fleet of small trawlers. She argues that the answer isn't to ban trawling outright, but to manage it and look at the specifics of each case.
"Trawling by small boats along the coast is indeed different from trawling by large industrial boats," says Tony Charles, a professor and research fellow at Saint Mary's University in Canada, and Director of the Community Conservation Research Network. He agrees that the right approach is a mix of measures depending on the fisheries, species and what works in a particular area.
Jesús Chavez, president of the fishermen's association and lead signatory on the letter that protested the ban, says "the conditions in the Caribbean are very different [from elsewhere in the country], and the productive activity is very different".
Jorge Jiménez is director of MarViva, one of the local conservation NGOs that favours the trawling ban. "There is no evidence that grants an exception," he says, adding that research clearly shows the technique harms the environment as well as the resource that artisanal fishers depend on.
Jiménez says conservation should be focused on the long-term well-being of communities, but argues this cannot be built on destruction of marine resources. "A revision of existing fishing practices … providing better prices for [fishers'] products … and ensuring the well-being of the ecosystem is the balance we need to achieve."
Charles says fishers can be trained to switch to new methods – but if trawling is the only way, it's important to compromise and work with them to reduce its impact. "Conservation cannot be achieved through one action" like a trawl ban, he says. "Should a government be so rigid in a trawl ban that it hurts those who most understand the coastal marine habitat and who are most likely to care about conserving fish and ocean? That does not seem the best path."
Information and power
Other communities are also struggling to get an official licence to fish. A group of women mollusc gatherers in Chomes, a fishing community of some 3,000 people on the country's Pacific coast, have secured a licence for just one of the four species they can harvest.
With the help of CoopeSoliDar, they're now organised, routinely recording data on the mollusc species in their mangroves.
The idea is to capture knowledge that then feeds into policy discussions. "We really need to generate information that is clear to them [the community], that is simple, that is in their own language, and that they can manage to improve their resources," says Marvin Fonseca-Borrás, a geographer with CoopeSoliDar.
Back in Barra del Colorado, Fonseca-Borrás is leading a discussion with fishermen and an environment ministry official over a map that captures the community's knowledge of marine areas and fish species.
"Marine spatial planning techniques are probably the most powerful tool that we have to communicate with fishers," he says. "It provides information on the biological diversity of the marine ecosystems, but it also gets us to reduce differences between the different actors. And it allows us to find viable solutions to the challenge of combining conservation and development."

Tristan da Cunha Island (UK)
Cruise Port schedule, live map, terminals, news
South America
Tristan da Cunha (colloquially Tristan), is a volcanic island located in the south Atlantic Ocean. The island covers a total area of approx 98 km2 (37,8 ml2) and has a population of around 260 people (January 2017 census).
- Tristan da Cunha is also the name of a remote group of volcanic islands located in the south Atlantic Ocean, of which Tristan is the main island. Tristan da Cunha is the world's most remote inhabited archipelago, lying 2,000 km (1,200 ml) from Saint Helena, the nearest inhabited land, and 2,400 km (1,500 ml) from South Africa, the nearest continental land. It is 3,360 km (2,090 ml) from South America.
- The territory consists of the main Tristan da Cunha island, which features a north–south length of 11,27 km (7,00 ml), along with the uninhabited Nightingale Islands and wildlife reserves of Gough islands and Inaccessible. The other islands, except Tristan, are uninhabited, not counting the personnel of the weather station located on Gough Island.
- Tristan da Cunha is part of the overseas territory of Britain - Saint Helena, Ascension & Tristan da Cunha. This includes Saint Helena Island and equatorial Ascension Island, around 3,730 km (2,318 ml) to the north of Tristan.
- The distant location of the isles makes transport to the outside world quite difficult. Lacking an airport, Tristan da Cunha can be reached by sea only. Fishing boats sailing from South Africa service the islands 8 or 9 times per year. RMS Saint Helena used to link the main island with Saint Helena and South Africa once per year during its January cruise, but has done so just twice during the last few years.

Lana Del Rey's Next Album, Honeymoon, Will Be 'Noirish'
Right now she has nine songs and a cover ready.
Even though it's only been roughly half a year since the release of Ultraviolence, Lana Del Rey has done much more than just lay the blueprints for a follow-up project. In an interview with Billboard, Rey revealed she has nine songs and a cover ready for the forthcoming album Honeymoon. Four of the songs apparently have "perfect" production already, but the artist is still "looking for a few more songs to tie everything together." The cover, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," was made popular by Nina Simone, and Rey will reportedly use it to summarize the album.
What will this LP sound like?
It's very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise. I finished my last one [Ultraviolence] in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea. It's growing into something I really like. I'm kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It's been good.
There was no mention of a projected release date, as the singer-songwriter does have other things, namely awards season, on her mind: "Big Eyes," which Rey wrote with Daniel Heath, has a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song — and
could should have a chance at an Oscar.

The Senior Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Barrister Okoi Obono-Obla, has said that Nigeria at 57 has not fared badly. He said, "The prospect of Nigeria becoming the beckon of African race is bright."
Obla in a chat on Sunday, said he was excited and glad that despite many hurdles, the country has remained united and indivisible.
He said, "I am excited and glad that despite everything, the Nigeria federation has survived for almost 103 years. This country was amalgamated on 3rd January 1914. As a Nigeria Federation, we are 103 years old and 57 old as an Independent country. We have come a long way.
"Nigeria has come to stay; Nigeria will be the beckon stone for other black race and it is a corner stone for other African countries and a confederation of the black race because the black race has been bounced since the collapse of the ancient Egypt and in the next 100 years, Nigeria will be a black World Power. It is the light of the black people of the universe," he stated
Asked if Nigeria has achieved the dreams of her founding fathers, Obla said, "Not completely, but we will get there because under the government of President Mohammedu Buhari, a solid foundation has been laid for us to achieve the dreams of our founding fathers, a united country premised on social justice, democracy, economic prosperity, a people of different diversity but united under one banner.
"So we will get there, we are just half way from achieving the dreams of our founding fathers, we have not done badly despite everything and now that we have leadership that is credible, a leadership that is transparent, we shall get there," he added.
On economy, the Special Adviser pointed out, "The economy is beginning to make a remarkable recovery, we are beginning to diversify the economic, agriculture is booming, farmers are making money and infrastructural facilities are springing up all over the country.
"Thousands of youths have been employed, we are on the part of getting there, for the first time, we have a responsible leadership in the country. The prospect is there, you can feel it, as I said the most important thing is the leadership that is committed, a leadership that is dedicated, a leadership that is patriotic, a leadership that is responsible and I can say that we now have that leadership in the country.

GFM Works in Lockstep with VICORP on a Very Sensitive Announcement
When VICORP Restaurants Inc., owners of Village Inn and Bakers Square restaurants, made the decision in 2008 to enter into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, they needed a PR partner with the experience, judgment and discretion to help them plan an extremely sensitive announcement and manage the multiple issues that unfolded in the months to follow. They called on GroundFloor Media's (GFM) crisis communication and reputation management team for assistance to provide strategic counsel, develop talking points and ensure message consistency to internal and external stakeholders, and to help minimalize negative media coverage.
Working in lockstep with the leadership team at VICORP, GFM's seasoned PR advisors held several closed-door sessions with VICORP executives to understand how many restaurants were closing and in what markets as well as any anticipated employees layoffs. The team then determined the most strategic way to communicate with key internal and external audiences such as employees, franchisees, vendors/suppliers, landlords, consumers and the media.
As the date of the filing approached, the GFM team conducted meetings and conference calls with VICORP's CEO, management team, legal advisory team and board of directors to learn more about the business objectives and strategic planning surrounding the approaching event.
On the day of the bankruptcy filing, GFM worked onsite at corporate headquarters, attended key staff meetings, participated in internal field calls, and handled all media inquiries and media interviews with the company's executives.
Through real-time media monitoring, GFM was also able to stay on top of the story and provide key messages and additional facts to remedy potentially negative coverage, and continued to do so for months afterward. Conservatively, GFM estimates that more than 28 million media impressions were generated from print, broadcast and online coverage of the announcement including outlets such as Wall Street Journal, CNN, Chicago Tribune and The Denver Post. VICORP's leadership team was extremely pleased with how GFM guided them through a very complex situation and the resulting coverage the team was able to achieve.
For its work on this complicated issue, GFM was awarded the Silver Pick Award for crisis communication from the Colorado Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.

Organisations are increasingly requiring coaches to participate in regular supervision and continuous professional development (CPD).
As coaches have the professional capacity to help bring about important changes for individuals, groups and organisations, their work can also deeply influence people who are in a life-changing situation or transition and who may be rendered vulnerable and possibly dependent.
i-coach academy offers regular Supervision/CPD Sessions to assist coaches to protect their clients by providing an opportunity to discuss specific cases with other clinically trained professionals.
Why Supervision/CPD?
Ethical codes are being developed within coaching professional bodies and some organisations (our own included). However, many coaching relationships and tasks are difficult to regulate through formal rules. It is, therefore, the individual coach's ethical consciousness, sense of responsibility and professional competence that are critical to ensuring the protection of the clients in their care and in maintaining the standards of the coaching profession. Supervision/CPD is one way for coaches to take responsibility for their clients whilst furthering their own development.
Benefits of Supervision to Coaches
• Protect your clients, as client cases are discussed with clinically trained professionals who are quick to identify areas of potential concern and offer advice or referral to specialist support if appropriate
• Reflect on your work to identify patterns which may give useful insight into improving your interventions
• Identify your personal strengths and weaknesses as a coach in order to realistically judge the limitations to set with respect to the type of work you undertake
• Learn from peers who have similar cases and experiences
• Improve your competency as a coach by keeping up-to-date with professional developments in the coaching field
Supervision Options - Individual or Group Supervision
Individual Supervision Sessions
Depending on the supervisors' availability, Individual Supervision Sessions of 1 ½ hours each can be provided by i-coach academy Faculty Members Prof. Mike van Oudtshoorn, Dr. Anton Obholzer and Prof. Ernesto Spinelli. These sessions will be held at the venue of individual Faculty Member's practice. These sessions cost £375 + VAT per session of 1 ½ hours.
Group Supervision Facilitated by Prof. Ernesto Spinelli
Prof. Ernesto Spinelli is an i-coach academy faculty member for the Masters Programme. His seminars, lectures and writings have earned him an international reputation as an innovative theoretician and practitioner in contemporary existential psychotherapy and psychology.

SDxCentral talked to Charlie Ashton, director of business development at Wind River, about how carrier-grade NFV is becoming a reality for the service provider market. Ashton leads Wind River initiatives in networking and telecommunications markets and has held leadership roles in both engineering and marketing at software, semiconductor, and systems companies.
SDxCentral: With the rise of NFV in the service provider market, Wind River has made significant investments in the technology and the NFV ecosystem. Can you tell us about Wind River's NFV initiatives?
Ashton: Our initiatives are based around our NFV infrastructure (NFVI) software platform called Titanium Server. This platform runs virtual network functions (VNFs) with the same level of reliability that telecom networks have typically delivered using traditional physical equipment. Service providers now can maintain the expected level of uptime for the customer services they deliver as they deploy NFV, despite the additional risk factors introduced by the complexity of NFV architectures.
To ensure full compatibility and interoperability with other hardware and software elements, we launched the Titanium Cloud ecosystem program. We work closely with our partners in this program to ensure their solutions are validated to work correctly and optimally with Titanium Server. Our current partners include Artesyn, ASTRI, Brocade, ConteXtream, Genband, HP, Intel Security, Ixia, Kontron, Metaswitch, Nakina, and Overture.
What do you think is most lacking in NFV infrastructure today?
Ashton: The most critical feature missing from NFVI platforms based on enterprise-class software designed for IT applications is the carrier-grade reliability necessary to ensure service uptime. Enterprise-class platforms only achieve three-nines (99.9 percent) uptime at best, while telecom infrastructure requires six-nines (99.9999 percent). Wind River fills that gap with Titanium Server, which is guaranteed to deliver six-nines uptime.
Is five-nines or even six-nines really feasible with software? Can we expect software-based systems to achieve the carrier-grade performance and availability as hardware systems?
Ashton: Absolutely. We've demonstrated six-nines and had it confirmed by an independent report called "Titanium Server: Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) Modeling Analysis."
What are the key elements that have to be present in any carrier-grade NFVI?
Ashton: Any carrier-grade NFV must provide four things at carrier-grade level: network availability, network security, performance, and network management.
To guarantee network availability for virtualized applications, you need an optimized hypervisor that minimizes the duration of outages during the live migration of virtual machines (VMs). The management software must be able to detect failed controllers, hosts, or VMs very quickly and implement hot data synchronization so no calls are dropped or data lost when failovers occur. The system must automatically act to recover failed components and restore sparing capability if that has been degraded.
Network security requirements present major challenges for telecom infrastructure. Carrier-grade security must be designed in from the start as a set of coordinated, fully embedded features. These features include full protection for the program store and hypervisor; AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) security for the configuration and control point; rate limiting, overload and denial-of-service (DoS) protection to secure critical network and inter-VM connectivity; encryption and localization of tenant data; secure, isolated VM networks; secure password management; and the prevention of OpenStack component spoofing.
In terms of software systems' performance, what is realistically achievable latency or fault-detection?
Ashton: Any carrier-grade network has stringent performance requirements in terms of both throughput and latency. The host vSwitch must deliver high bandwidth to the guest VMs over secure tunnels. At the same time, the processor resources used by the vSwitch must be minimized because service providers derive revenue from resources used to run services and applications, not those consumed by switching.
In terms of latency constraints, the platform must ensure a deterministic interrupt latency of 10 microseconds or less in order for virtualization to be feasible for the most demanding CPE and access functions. Finally, live migration of VMs must occur with an outage time less than 150ms.
What are the key capabilities needed for network management?
Ashton: To eliminate the need for planned maintenance downtime windows, the system must support hitless software upgrades and hitless patches, and the backup and recovery system must be fully integrated with the platform software. Support must be implemented for northbound APIs that interface the infrastructure platform to the OSS/BSS and NFV orchestration software, including SNMP, Netconf, XML, REST APIs, OpenStack plug-ins, and ACPI.
How has NFV server performance evolved? What is the state-of-the-art that Wind River has seen on commercial off-the-shelf servers (COTS)?
Ashton: Let's look at a specific use case to illustrate the performance of the Accelerated vSwitch (AVS) in Titanium Server, running on COTS hardware.
We'll assume we need to instantiate a function such as a media gateway as a VNF and that it requires a bandwidth of 2 million packets per second (2 Mpps) from the vSwitch. For simplicity we'll instantiate a single VM, running this VNF on each processor core. As the reference platform for our analysis, we'll use a dual-socket Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 series platform ("Ivy Bridge") running at 2.9 GHz, with a total of 24 cores available across the two sockets.
All our performance measurements will be based on bidirectional network traffic running from the network interface card (NIC) to the vSwitch, through a VM and back through the vSwitch to the NIC. This represents a real-world NFV configuration, rather than a simplified configuration in which traffic runs only from the NIC to the vSwitch and back to the NIC, bypassing the VM so that no useful work in performed.
In the first scenario, we use Open vSwitch (OVS) to switch the traffic to the VMs on the platform. Measurements show that each core running OVS can switch approximately 0.3 Mpps of traffic to a VM (64-byte packets). The optimum configuration for our 24-core platform will be to use 20 cores for the vSwitch, delivering a total of 6 Mpps of traffic. This traffic will be consumed by three cores running VMs, and one core will be unused because OVS can't deliver the bandwidth required to run VMs on more than three cores.
When we replace OVS with Titanium Server's AVS, we can now switch 12 Mpps per core, again assuming 64-byte packets. So our 24-core platform can be configured with four cores running the vSwitch. These deliver a total of 40 Mpps to exactly meet the bandwidth requirements of 20 VMs running on the remaining 20 cores. Our resource utilization is now 20 VMs per blade.
What does that mean from a business perspective?
Ashton: Increasing the number of VMs per blade by a factor of 6.7 (20 divided by 3) allows us to serve the same number of subscribers using only 15 percent as many blades as when OVS was used. Another way to look at it is we can now serve 6.7 times as many subscribers using the same server rack. In either case, this represents a very significant reduction in opex, and it can be achieved without changing the VNFs themselves.
Will we still achieve the cost savings with COTS if the software has to evolve to be sophisticated enough to achieve all these capabilities you are describing in an NFV server? Are we just trading one cost for another?
Ashton: The most critical software elements in any NFVI platform are 1) the operating system, 2) the hypervisor, 3) the virtual switch, 4) the platform management, and 5) the telecom middleware. The overhead for running the carrier-grade management and telco middleware functions is minimal, especially on a high-performance server with a large number of cores, which is the typical hardware platform for NFV deployments.
Wind River is a subsidiary of Intel. What kind of synergies are there between the two companies?
Ashton: The synergies are very strong. Because we are a subsidiary, our engineers are able to work closely with Intel's to not only understand how we can best leverage the micro-architecture and features of the latest server-class platforms, but also to provide their experts with feedback on the requirements of carrier-grade software. It's a very positive situation for our mutual customers. They benefit from best-in-class telco software running on industry-leading server platforms.
We also have a strong collaboration in terms of code that we submit to the various open-source communities, which is a key part of our strategy to ensure that key functions required for NFV are implemented in open source as soon as it makes sense.
What is still missing in the NFV ecosystem? How do you see these holes getting plugged in the next six to 12 months?
Ashton: Interoperability is a challenge. Phase 1 of the ETSI NFV Industry Specification Group (ISG) work defined the software architecture for NFV, subject to some outstanding questions around management and orchestration (MANO). In phase 2, we expect consensus on the architecture, including MANO, as well as the right set of open standards so that vendors can develop products with the confidence that they will achieve interoperability.
What other developments can we expect from Wind River on the NFV front?
Ashton: Over the next few months, you'll see some significant expansion of the Titanium Cloud partner ecosystem as we continue to validate that solutions from industry-leading NFV companies run correctly and optimally on Titanium Server.
On the product side, we'll be adding additional features and capabilities to Titanium Server this year. We're looking forward to seeing the first fruits of our collaboration with HP that was announced in November. HP will incorporate carrier-grade technology from Titanium Server into their HP Helion OpenStack solutions for NFV.

|It looks like I will start creating videos this week.
A well read site has tapped me to do some work for them.
Having always been a text person...writing is my thing, I need help.
what do I need to set up a home studio for video production?
What hardware and software do I need?
My Sunday Is going to be spent setting up shop.
Starting with shopping. What should I buy?

I assume you already have a great microphone (Blue Yeti is what is always recommended).
Your equipment all depends on where you will be shooting and what computer system you use. I am on a PC so here is what I have in place.
I have a portable screen for projection that I use for a background - got mine at Office Depot for $150
Your camera - I use a Nikon P250 but if you are buying one, get one with the built in plug for external sound. Mine has sound but I dub it back over as the sound quality is not there. If shooting from your desktop, I have a great webcam from Logitech HD1080p that gives a very clear picture. I still tend to use the Blue Yeti for the sound instead of the built in sound from the camera.
You could Green screen - just get the right color cloth to do the job.
Software - I use Camtasia Studio and Captivate from Adobe. This is because I have found that one piece of software is not sufficient.
I also use a teleprompter software for my scripts. I found a free one that works well but you may want to purchase one. Up to You on how much you want to invest.
You can make some really great videos with very low cost, creativity is the key.
Have fun!
Almost forgot - lighting. Natural light is great but a light kit that takes away shadows is much better. Most camera stores (like Wolfe) should have inexpensive kits.

|Hey Bill - you'll need to get familiar with Adobe software. I use Adobe Premier and After Effects (for titling and visual effects mainly). You'll need to master titling or have a good partner (like Launch Media) because without it your video will lack the professionally-produced feel. Let me know if you need any help and good luck!

Have a look at this.
That workshop is in process to be moved to another site so it won't be there forever. It was a premium membership access only thing, but I believe all the pages/videos/downloads have their access controls disabled so have at it. If you find something you can't access, let me know and I'll see it gets unlocked for you.

Last Sunday, I preached on the wide & narrow roads from Matthew 7:13-14. In that passage, Jesus says there is a wide road that leads to destruction and a narrow road that leads to life. There are only two options, heaven or hell. As a follow up from my message last week, I thought I would post this short video by Mark Driscoll on heaven and hell. Heaven is real, and so is hell! You must consider which road you are on today. I appreciate what he says to those that do not believe it is real.
"If I am wrong, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But if you are wrong, you have nothing to gain and everything to lose."

The following links are all affiliate links. See my full disclosure here.
Resources on Faith:
Off Script by Cary Schmidt – The subtitle is "What to Do When God Rewrites Your Life." We all have ideas of how our life is going to go. When things take a sudden turn for the worse, it can be shocking and cause us to question God. I first read Off Script when I was dealing with an unexpected health challenge. Schmidt wrote it as he was dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Most books on the subject of dealing with suffering are written after the author has already overcome his difficulty, but this one was not. I appreciated that perspective.
Resources on Homemaking:
My Homemaking Mentor – If you are a newlywed who is overwhelmed by the responsibility of maintaining your home, My Homemaking Mentor is for you. I've been a member since My Homemaking Mentor was just a dream and a Kickstarter campaign. You can read my full review here. Note: My Homemaking Mentor registration is currently closed. Enrollment will re-open in the fall.
Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine – Great for any mom who feels frazzled and overwhelmed. My post Living Out Your Priorities was inspired by what I learned from this book. Crystal goes through several processes to help you understand what your priorities are, and how you can manage your time to accomplish them.
Drowning in Clutter? Don't Grab a Floatie, Drain the Ocean by Dana K. White – You can read a full review in my post, Decluttering without the Angst. Dana is absolutely hilarious!
Resources on Motherhood:
Treasuring Christ When Your Hands are Full by Gloria Furman – I read a lot of books on my Kindle, but I loved this one so much that I also bought the paperback edition. If you only read one book about parenting during the little years, read this one. Mothering is best understood in context of the Gospel.
When your eyes are fixed on the horizon of eternity, it affects your vision for motherhood. We need to have eyes to see a view of God that is so big and so glorious that it transforms our perspective of motherhood. In the context of eternity, where Christ is doing his work of reigning over the cosmos, we need to see our mundane moments for what they really are—worship. – Gloria Furman
Resources on Food and Health:
About 90% of what I cook comes from one of the following cookbooks:
Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett – This is a healthy cookbook for real people who have real lives. There are some fancy and gourmet concoctions in here, but the majority of the recipes are simple and straightforward. Trim Healthy Mama recipes are low glycemic, which makes them very diabetic-friendly. If you're interested in eliminating highly processed foods and sugar from your diet, Trim Healthy Mama is the way to go.
100 Days of Real Food by Lisa Leake – As a caveat, the author suggests buying everything organic. If you are able to do that, that's wonderful. I don't think that's realistic for most people, but that doesn't mean we can't try to make better choices with the resources we do have. With that in mind, 100 Days of Real Food has some delicious and extremely simple recipes. I learned how to cook a whole chicken from this book.
Necessary Food by Briana Thomas – Briana Thomas is a popular blogger in the Trim Healthy Mama world. Personally, I'm super impressed that she came up with all of these recipes. I believe we're pretty close in age, and I definitely couldn't have done that! If you are sad about giving up sugary ice cream, she has a huge section dedicated to healthy ice cream recipes. We really like her recipes for main dishes.
Resources on Blogging:
5 Days to a Successful Blog Launch – As a blogger, one of my core values is to only promote legitimate products. There are a million courses out there that claim to teach you how to set up a blog or how to make money with a blog. When examining these products, always focus on one thing: Does this person actually have a successful blog that is about something other than teaching people how to blog?
If they don't, that's a red flag. You want to learn from people who are experts in their field. Crystal Paine is the author of this course. Her blog, Money Saving Mom, receives….wait for it…1.5 million visitors per month. That was the most recent statistic I could find. She has also published multiple books and has been earning a full time income from blogging for years. That is the type of person you want to teach you blogging.
I have had the opportunity to look over this course, and I endorse it wholeheartedly. It is intended for the absolute beginner, someone who does not have a blog at all. If you're in this category, I would highly recommend it.

Hungary passes tax rebate law
Film tax law expired at the end of DecemberBUDAPEST, Hungary -- Hungarian filmmakers and international producers breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday as the Hungarian Parliament passed its long-awaited film law.
Rumor had it at the end of last year that the European Commission would demand that Hungary end its 20% tax rebate for international productions. The EC put Hungary under the microscope when its film tax law expired Dec. 31 without a new EU-approved law to take its place.
Ultimately, a strong majority of Hungarian lawmakers signed off on a modified version of the country's 2004 law, keeping perhaps the single most attractive factor for productions considering Hungary -- the 20% tax rebate.
The modified law heavily underlines the need for cultural content that promotes Hungarian or European values and traditions. However, it is widely believed that foreign productions using largely Hungarian crews will qualify for the rebate.
The European Commission will ratify the law in a month.

Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency said Sunday it had arrested a Palestinian for recruiting Palestinians in Egypt who were trained in Gaza before being sent to the West Bank.
The agency said Mohammed Nazal, 33, from the northern West Bank town of Qabatiya, was arrested in January at the Allenby crossing between Jordan and the occupied West Bank.
Nazal, who had been in Cairo as a student since 2007, was a member of Al-Mujaheddin brigades which Shin Bet described as an extremist Islamist terror group whose members have fired rockets at Israel and attempted other attacks.
Nazal told investigators that "while in Egypt, he sought out and recruited students from the West Bank studying in Egypt, sent them for military training in Gaza, and then planted them in the West Bank" to set up a military network, a Shin Bet statement read.
His Cairo apartment was also a meeting place for militants from various groups, including the Islamist movement Hamas which controls the Gaza Strip, the agency said.
It said Nazal's group and Hamas had ties that included training and the supply of arms, and in Gaza Al-Mujaheddin brigades came under the auspices of Hamas which funds and guides it.
Nazal will be tried in a military court, the statement read.
The Shin Bet announcement shortly after Cairo accused Hamas of involvement alongside the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in last year's killing of Egypt's top prosecutor Hisham Barakat, a charge Hamas swiftly denied.

Let us pay your shipping! All products on Serenity Living are shipped to you at no shipping costs.
* Free shipping applies to all mainland North America orders (including Canada). International orders will be charged for shipping.
We know that once you have placed an order with us, you want to receive it as quickly as possible, so we use the best delivery companies in North America. Below you will find descriptions of the different types of shipping methods we use.
Smaller products will be shipped with regular ground shipping (generally USPS, FedEx, UPS or DHL). The average transit time is between 2 to 5 working days (not including pre-ship processing time) for any destination in the contiguous United States or Canada. Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment. Generally, ground delivery is available Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm. A signature is not typically required: if the customer is not at home to accept delivery, the product will be left if it is safe to do so. If a signature is required the product will not be left at the address. Please note that deliveries cannot be made to a PO Box
If the product that you are purchasing is a larger item, it will be shipped via truck freight, sometimes called 'back of truck'. Truck freight shipments usually take between 1-10 business days in transit to arrive (excluding pre-ship processing time).
The shipping company will call you in advance to schedule a delivery appointment window. In general, you must be at home to receive the order. Please note that if you are not available for a delivery appointment or the carrier cannot contact you, the order will be held for you for several days. There may be a charge for this service. After this time, the order will be returned to the manufacturer for credit under our Return Policy.
After the product is delivered to the shipping address, it is the customer's responsibility to unload it from the back of the truck. If the item is very heavy please ensure that you have assistance to remove it from the delivery truck. For an additional fee, the carrier can use a lift gate to remove the items from the truck for you. Inside delivery across the threshold of your home may also be available at an extra charge. Some truck freight companies can provide assembly of the items for an additional fee. Please contact us before placing your order for more information on this service. Please note that deliveries cannot be made to a PO Box.
* Please note that if you are not available for a delivery appointment or the carrier cannot contact you, the order will be held for you for several days, and there may be a charge for this service. After this time, the order will be returned to the manufacturer for credit under our Return Policy.
Please make sure that you inspect the package(s) at the time of delivery. If the box has any damage, or if there is any reason you are concerned with its packaging or delivery, please write, "Product Damaged" clearly on the sheet the delivery agent asks you to sign. This simply insures that if there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem, and your order will be fulfilled as soon as possible
This method is just like "Truck Freight" except that the truck freight company will deliver your order to the threshold if yours is a residential delivery (this means to your garage or front door), or to the loading dock if yours is a commercial delivery. Unfortunately, they are not authorized to perform any assembly services nor can they put it in the room of your choice. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the shipper directly to arrange for any additional services that you would like. You will be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for these additional services
Each product on our websites differs by the processing time, (which is the number of business days it will take for your order to be processed for shipment at the warehouse) and by transit time. For your convenience, you may click on the "Delivery Estimate" icon on the product page to obtain an approximation of the delivery date. If you require more accurate information than what is shown, please contact us at our Toll Free Support Center 1-877-385-8950.
In general, most orders are typically delivered within 10 working days from the date of the order.

About The Photographer
- Nada Nekrep { Half Moon Bay Photographer }
- I have been taking photographs all my life. At age 10, I borrowed my father's old Pentax camera and headed out to the fields. I took my first photography class a year after under the guidance of a documentary filmmaker, developed my first B&W photo and was hooked. I have never stopped "thinking in frames" since. I pursued a career in science that trained me to be thorough, precise, patient. But photography remained my passion and I am only truly happy when behind the camera.

Assisted living, independent living occupancy rises slightly, new report says
Michael Hargrave, Vice President, NIC MAP
Occupancy in the assisted living and independent living sectors has leveled off in the past year after steadily declining since the early part of 2007, according to a soon-to-be-released report from the National Investment Centers for the Seniors Housing & Care Industry.
As of the second quarter of 2010, occupancy crept up slightly to 87.7%, according to Michael Hargrave, vice president of the NIC Market Area Profiles (MAP) service, which will unveil the report next month. Demand is growing at a rate of 7,000 units annually, he told reporters at the NIC annual conference last week in Chicago.
"A demand-level recovery is exactly what the sector needs," Hargrave said.
Hargrave noted that rent growth has plummeted to 0.7%, but it has not gone negative as it has in other commercial sectors.
Also to be released from NIC next month is a guide for investors and potential investors about the seniors housing and care industry. The "NIC Investment Guide 2010: Investing in Seniors Housing & Care Properties" provides an introduction to the investment characteristics and performance of the sector, as well as the leading industry players.

Save time with the UK's favourite electrical screw. No snagging. No pre-drilling. No problem.
Orbix screws were designed for electricians by electricians to make electrical fixings easier and quicker than ever before. Designed with common electrical applications in mind and featuring a built-in drillbit that's always sharp and always the right size, Orbix self-drilling electrical screws save time and money on any type of job. They're a spark of genius.
Electrical cabling can easily snag on traditional screws and fasteners, and the edges of normal screws can chafe away at the plastic casing that protects cables, potentially damaging the wire inside. Not with Orbix electrical fasteners. The flat head ensures snag-free installation, and the low profile design of Orbix screws provides complete peace of mind before, during and after installation.
Every Orbix screw has a flat underside too. This provides a larger bearing surface, helps prevent buckling of accessories and cuts out any fiddly washers – saving you even more time and money. No preparation needed; just drill, fix and tighten in one.
Whether you're fixing metal to metal, metal to wood or you need to screw directly into wood, Orbix electrical screws are up to the job. The Orbix standard self-drilling screw is perfect for joining cable trays, trunking and cable lids; while Orbix multi-woodscrews are perfect for direct fixing into wood or even piercing through PVC or very thin steel into a wood behind. For even greater flexibility, we also offer the Orbix mini-head screw for when space is tight. So whether you're fastening trunking, joining accessories to control panels, or attaching armoured cable cleats, the Orbix range of self-drilling electrical screws can help you get the job done in record time.
Our standard range of screws for metal make the joining cable trays, cable trunking and trunking lids quicker and easier than ever before. They're also great for mounting din rail and accessories in control panels and fixing earth tags to galvanised trunking.Orbix Screws for Metal
A selection pack containing a range of Orbix low profile head and multi-wood screws - all packed in a robust plastic case. Also includes countersunk and pan head self-drilling screws, together with Orbix point caps.Orbix Selection Pack
Specifically designed for electricians. Orbix general wood screws make fixing electrical accessories such as socket boxes, trunking, cable trays and support brackets to timber a breeze.Orbix General Wood Screws

Using ice breakers and team building activities
Team-building activities are a great way for teachers to get to know their colleagues on a more personal level and, this can work in many different ways but here I will talk about our recent experience on the faculty retreat.We started off with an activity of answering different questions according to the candy we had selected. This icebreaker not only got us as all talking to each other, but it also got us to work with each other. It was also quite simple as well: selecting three candies and chocolates each one of a different type can excite any age and gender. The leader posed some questions on a piece of chart which made us talk all about ourselves in different teaching situations
This icebreaking activity can also be extended by issuing one situation for the entire group or allocating a different situation to each team member, or pair, to work on. Depending on the situation chosen, the activity can be a lot fun.
Those candies and chocolates excited all of us; hence I am posting another idea using our favourite candies called M&M's
The M&M Game
Pass around a bag of M&Ms and have each person take as many as they want. For each colour of M&M have a question they can answer. For instance,
Red: Name a campus resource.
Blue: Mention one thing you would like to change about the school

"Moving well is well, moving well. It's about movements and positions, not exercise," says Dr. Kelly Starrett. When taking up a sport that requires strength, balance, and muscular endurance, solid technique is a must have for sustainability and injury prevention. In stand up paddle boarding (SUP), sound technique is reflected in foot placement, paddling posture, and stroke efficiency. In preparing the body for a healthy SUP experience, we focus on four key elements: training barefoot, asymmetry, rotation, and balance/stability. Training barefoot allows for your feet and ankles to develop a feel for stabilizing and supporting your body during dynamic movements (ie. squats, cleans, presses, rotation, and balancing). This will make your time spent on your board more comfortable. When lifting, use a single Kettlebell instead of doubles to work one side at a time, enabling you to identify and address any imbalances. Working on rotation and trunk strength? Stand slightly staggered, like you would on your paddleboard, and turn your trunk (belly button and head aligned) away from whatever resistance you are using. Balance work can include single-leg work, on a solid surface or unstable, like a BOSU.
For you gym junkies, here's more programming info:
Movement preparation can include Animal Walks (ie. bear crawl, crab walk, monkey climb) and Get-Ups, to promote shoulder stability, trunk strength, and linkage through the body.
To address strength and stability in proper foot placement on your paddleboard (a slightly staggered step), body weight or loaded single-leg squats and single-leg deadlifts (a hip dominant, hinge-based movement) are effective movements. Paddling posture can be supported by practicing a tall, healthy posture in your everyday life, maintaining proper spinal alignment and completing mobility exercises to overcome adaptive shortening of musculature due to sedentary activities.
Pressing, planks and bridges are effective movements to support the core musculature. Chopping and combination pulling/rotation movements using dynamic resistance (ie. superbands, TRX Rip Trainer) prepare the body for the reaching and pulling requirements in a proficient stroke pattern. Performed in either a standing or half-kneeling stance, these movements can improve strength and power production, creating a more powerful stroke.
Ultimately, focus on quality of movement, strong, comfortable posture, and don't forget to get in the water. There's always a chance that you'll end up in it, even if you aren't planning to be.

Gray-box testing
Black-box and white-box testing techniques cannot be the one and only testing process in QA because each process is oriented on the extrinsic or the intrinsic side of the program. Separately they aren't efficient since they provide only half of essential results. But we can actually make them emerge into one gray-box testing.
Gray-box technique is utilized to detect problems connected to continuous stream of data, because this sort of errors are difficult to find by using black-box or white-box method.
Mostly gray-box method is used for testing web applications; they are composed of software and hardware components and require to be revised on the accuracy of their interaction. It includes high-level design, operating environment and compatibility conditions.
Let me estimate your idea!
We estimate your idea as soon as possible
In Thunderrise we use such techniques of gray-box testing:
- Matrix Testing;
- Regression testing;
- Pattern Testing;
- Orthogonal array testing.
As Gray-box testing is combined of white-box and black-box testing, it serves advantages from both testing processes. Also it has non-invasive nature which is beneficial since no code changes are implied.
There are many subtle aspects about gray-box testing appliance, but we can make you assure that Thunderrise QA engineers will fix one and every problem they locate during testing process. If you have concrete questions about gray-box testing our consultants are always ready to give you full report on your point of interest.

About FLYSEC
FLYSEC is an ambitious research and innovation project that aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative, integrated, end-to-end airport security process for passengers, airports and airlines. FLYSEC´s primary goal is to enable a guided and streamlined procedure from the landside to airside and into the boarding gates, while offering an operationally validated innovative concept for end-to-end aviation security. The project will gather excellence and expertise from Industry, SMEs, Research and Academia including stakeholders and end-users such as major airport operators.
FLYSEC ambition is based on a well-structured work plan that includes:
- Innovative processes facilitating risk-based screening
- Deployment and integration of new technologies and repurposing existing solutions towards a risk-based security paradigm shift
- Improvement of passenger facilitation and customer service, bringing security as a real service in the airport of tomorrow
- Achieving measurable throughput improvement and a whole new level of Quality of Service.
On the technical side, FLYSEC achieves its ambitious goals by integrating new technologies on video surveillance, intelligent remote image processing and biometrics combined with big data analysis, open-source intelligence and crowdsourcing. Repurposing existing technologies is also one of FLYSEC´s objectives, such as mobile application technologies for improved passenger experience and positive boarding applications (i.e. services to facilitate boarding and landside/airside way finding) as well as RFID for carry-on luggage tracking and quick unattended luggage handling.
FLYSEC aims to implement a seamless risk-based security process combining the aforementioned technologies with behavioural analysis and innovative cognitive algorithms. A key aspect in the design of FLYSEC risk-based security is applying ethical-by-design patterns, maximizing the efficiency of security controls through passenger differentiation ranging from "unknown" to "trusted", while remaining ethical and fair in the process. Policy, regulatory and standardization aspects will also be examined in the context of FLYSEC innovative security concept.
FLYSEC involves technologies from different Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), including in-project prototype development, as well as adaptation and extension of more mature solutions or re-purposing of commercial products. FLYSEC will validate the operational value of the provided solution through pilot test in real operational environment.
FLYSEC Overall Security Concept
FLYSEC aims to provide an innovative concept for airport security based on (i) passenger facilitation, (ii) risk-based security and (iii) outcome-focused results. The three core points are surrounded by the Social Acceptance, Legal Compliance and Ethics respect lines which set the social, political, legal and anthropological framework.
In the FLYSEC Secure Tunnels scenario the passengers are differentiated to Trusted/Pre-Registered, Normal and Enhanced screening passengers. The tunnel is implemented as a virtual path from the landside, through the security check and to the airside where technological components offer intelligence and risk-based security correlations through passive tracking and intelligent analysis.
FLYSEC System Architecture
The Overall Strategy of the FLYSEC Work Plan is based on the agile development of FLYSEC components and system centered around the validation and operational testing methodology: from the simulation fast-track test-bed to the operational testing and Proof of Concept, and to the final field test in a real operational environment.

They exhibit autotrophic mode of nutrition. Most algae contains green pigment while other contains red, brown, blue-green or purple pigment.
The mode of reproduction is usually asexual. but sexual reproduction also takes place in some of the forms. ALGAE Bacteria GREEN ALGAE Prokaryotic cells ( lack distinct nuclei and other membranous organelles)
Single celled; microscopic;
Cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan. Example: lactic acid bacteria (in yogurt) Most have a threadlike; multicellular body; non-photosynthetic; absorb nutrients; cell walls of chitin.
Abundant worldwide
They may become noticeable when fruiting, either as mushrooms or molds.
Essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange. FUNGI LICHENS A lichen is an amalgamation of a fungus and one or more photosynthetic organisms (those that make food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide).
